Free Design – Zip Case – In the Hoop!

I’m the first to admit, I’m not great with 3D objects that have to be sewn. Bags baffle me. I’ve done a few but I avoid them since I’m better with quilts and figuring those out. Fear no more!

I’ll admit I struggled with the first pouch due to thread issues which was really frustrating. I switched to Aurifil and of course that fixed almost all my issues. *sigh*

I'm a 30 something crafter that fell in love with quilting in 2010. I love experimenting with off-the-wall techniques, modern fabrics and even a bit of regular sewing! I share my home with three adorable corgis and my husband in Florida.
